Property a is simplicity in disguise

We say that a group G has property (A) if every non-trivial homomorphism from G to any group is injective. Which of the following groups has property (A)?

A.The cyclic group of order 6.
B.The symmetric group $S_{5}$ .
C.The alternating group $A_{5}$ .✓
D.The dihedral group with ten elements.

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
